The first purchase outside of Central New York for a privately held operator of AM and FM radio stations is for beer and wine.
No liquor stores were involved in the transaction.
In an announcement made August 31, Galaxy Communications has agreed to purchase Hops & Props Craft Beer Fest, marketed as “Long Island’s Best Beer Fest,” and the Taste of Flight Wine Expo, billed as the “largest wine event” in New York’s Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
